As stated before, use something like trafshow or iptraf to determine
what is talking on what port - you might want to login to your ADSL
modem's internal configuration page and set the firewall there as well
(most come with the firewall turned off by default); check what running
services you have - turn off what is NOT necessary, get and install a
chkrootkit to make sure you're not hijacked, and monitor all activity.

If you're given a static IP by your ISP, you could always ask for it to
be changed.
